Can’t seem to change weight units. I can see in the settings the option to open the menu (units and rounding) but it doesn’t do anything. All the weights in Europe/Uk are in Kg not lb. Need to be able to change to lb ### 3/5 — Missing some functionality listed *2024-10-02, version 1.8.4* Can’t changed weight units, but handles progressions well would like easier exercise substitution options. ### 4/5 — Great idea, no maintenance *2024-08-01, version 1.8.4* Recommendation for alarm to play even if the app is closed/inactive. Used for 2 years. A lot of progressions don’t work and not a ton of customization. I’d pay more for these features than the $5. ### 4/5 — Workout plans *2024-04-16, version 1.8.4* Workout plan helped me jump start again, just wish there was options to vary plans between heavier lifting and cardio based plyo workouts. ### 3/5 — Don’t see option to add TM *2023-07-21, version 1.8.4* The app has a bunch of features I want but I don’t see a way to add my TM even though the main lifts reference a TM??? Otherwise, great app. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2023-07-16, version 1.8.4* The rest timer is difficult to change on iPhone (SE 2nd Gen) and it doesn’t seem to keep notes from previous sessions on the next session. Also it calculates the weight wrong when you failed one week or change the weight yourself. ### 3/5 — Value input needs work *2023-07-08, version 1.8.4* Changing reps and weight within each workout needs to put keyboard behind the current value instead of in front. Or it should automatically clear the value instead of having 0 by default. Great app but the input functionality needs to be cleaned up. ### 3/5 — Good app, would benefit from login feature *2023-06-05, version 1.8.4* Got a new phone and lost all of my workout history and stats :( the app would benefit from being able to login and save your progress, or possibly export your stats at least to save them locally if you ever switch devices. Really sad to have lost all my stats :( ### 4/5 — Pretty good app *2023-02-14, version 1.8.4* Loving the workout plan so far. Only issue I e had so far is trying to add a new exercise that is not already on the list. After adding the exercise name, muscles, equipment, and saving it all it does it place the triangle symbol on the list but no name or data that was entered. Otherwise it’s going good so far. ### 3/5 — Great but one annoying issue *2023-01-19, version 1.8.4* Awesome app, just what I need. Can’t seem to change the units though and it’s really bugging me! ### 4/5 — Great app *2022-10-13, version 1.8.4* Really good app for anyone following these methods of training. Would really like to see customizable weight progressions then this will be 5/5 for me. ### 3/5 — Newest update broke LP *2022-10-10* I’ve been very happy with this app but since the new update I can’t add a new week for the lp template. ### 5/5 — Excellent programming app *2022-08-27, version 1.8.1* First GZCLP app I’ve used that has no discerning quirks. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and helpful! *2022-07-22, version 1.8.1* I’m really pleased with the functionality of this app. Being able to swap out T3 exercises, using the plate calculator right from the workout page, the built-in timers—it’s excellent. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t change to kg *2025-01-31, version 1.8.4* Might be a bug but I can’t change to kg ### 1/5 — Unusable for me because of lbs *2023-02-27, version 1.8.4* I could not convert the measurement from lb to kg. As soon as this bug is fixed I will use the app again. ### 1/5 — Is this app broken or no longer supported? *2022-12-08, version 1.8.4* Previous stats inexplicably don’t carry over to future workouts. Seems broken. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2022-07-19, version 1.8.1* I can’t start a new workout because the app just crashes when I hit the plus button and select a workout. ### 1/5 — App of the Day *2021-12-23, version 1.8.1* Pro version was supposed to be free today on App Advice’s free app of the day. There is an automatic banner that pops up telling me I don’t have internet access and can’t upgrade to pro for free. Apparently since I’m posting this here and was able to download the app, my internet is fine. This smells like a bait and switch. If it’s not, open it back up for free, otherwise, I'm contacting the app advice app and letting them know this was a scam to get more downloads. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t handle progressions and failures *2025-11-29, version 1.8.5* I really wanted to like this app! But I’ve been using GZCLP for a few weeks now and it doesn’t naturally progress weights and it doesn’t change the sets and reps when I fail a workout at a given weight. These are essential for this program. ### 2/5 — Seems okay but very buggy *2023-01-26, version 1.8.4* Can’t change units from lbs to kg ### 2/5 — Too basic *2022-05-05, version 1.8.1* It seems like it could be an awesome app, but there just aren’t any features. The rest times are different than what the gzcl program recommends, you can’t use it with multiple devices (like an iPhone and an iPad ), and there are no instructions on the app on what to even do. I guess it’s made for people who already know a lot about the program and the app is just a supplement. Hope it gets improved though. ### 2/5 — Very few cycles and can’t customize them *2021-12-22* Very few cycles and can’t customize them, who wants to do the same exercises for 12 weeks? You can only add exercises once you start a workout… so while you’re in the gym, nor before. Zero possibilities for planning ### 2/5 — Nice App, Currently Bugged *2021-12-02, version 1.8.1* Cool app, but can’t start a Jacked & Tan cycle on the app because it keeps crashing. Better off using another app until they fix it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The only good lifting app *2025-12-08, version 1.8.5* Straightforward and simple to become stronk It would be nice to be able to reset everything back to defaults though. I made several modifications and it’d nice go back to vanilla configuration ### 5/5 — Will update *2025-06-13, version 1.8.4* I will let them review if needed. However, after trying for today’s workout, I greatly appreciated this simplicity of the app. I look forward to seeing how it functions long-term. Will update after day four ### 5/5 — pretty good *2025-01-25, version 1.8.4* it is pretty good ### 5/5 — Easy to make gains! *2024-09-03, version 1.8.4* Super simple to use app with several different training cycles available, all easily adjustable and the theory behind cody’s programs is easy to understand and adapt. Have come back to it several times to make easy progression without killing myself and spending hours in the gym everyday in between other more focused programs! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-01-05, version 1.8.4* Excellent app. Simple, yet has all the calculations you need. Love it. ### 5/5 — The only good lifting app *2023-12-06, version 1.8.4* Straightforward and simple to become stronk ### 5/5 — Better than any app or spreadsheet *2023-06-12* I was using a google sheet page to track my progress and it was super annoying. All other apps are bloated with terrible ads or just not functional enough. This is customizable, non-intrusive, and straight forward. ### 5/5 — The only good lifting app *2023-06-10* Straightforward and simple to become stronk ### 5/5 — The only good lifting app *2022-12-31, version 1.8.4* Straightforward and simple to become stronk ### 5/5 — Wow, impressive doesn’t say enough! *2022-10-08, version 1.8.3* Impressive! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
